Representatives from greater than a dozen British Columbia mosques and Islamic associations have despatched a letter to Premier David Eby calling for the minister of post-secondary schooling to be faraway from her position.
They are saying no NDP MLA or candidate for the following election is welcome of their sacred areas till the premier takes motion towards Selina Robinson.
She has confronted heavy criticism and calls to resign after saying Israel was based on a “crappy piece of land.”
She has since apologized in a social media submit, saying her feedback had been “disrespectful,” and she or he had been referring to the land having restricted pure assets.
Eby has stated that Robinson’s feedback had been unsuitable and hurtful and improve division within the province, however has indirectly responded to questions concerning whether or not he thought of firing her.
The letter from Muslim teams, dated Friday, says neither Robinson’s apology nor Eby’s response handle the intense hurt executed to members of the group and argues Robinson has proven “blatant bigotry” that’s tarnished the repute of the province and the NDP.
“In the end, what it comes all the way down to is, does the BC NDP condone these attitudes towards any equity-deserving group, not to mention Palestinian Arab and Muslim communities which might be already at higher threat of hurt?” the letter says.
